Description

Most students will need loans to pay for college, but lack the information needed to make smart ROI, or “Return on Investment,” decisions. We’ll explore basics, offer tips and dispel myths. Well managed student loans are not bad!

Student loans are one element of a family’s plan to pay for college. We’ll unravel the complexity of loan programs by defining key terms such as capitalized interest, forbearance, deferment, loan forgiveness, cosigners and many others.
